Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of radio communications, in particular to a QoE configuration release method, device and computer-readable storage medium.

Background

The goal of Quality of Experience (QoE) is to collect user experience quality parameters of different service types. When the core network or the operation administration and maintenance (OAM) entity transmits the QoE configuration to the radio access network (RAN), the RAN forwards the QoE configuration to the user equipment (UE), and the UE collects the relevant QoE measurement report, and reports it to the RAN side, and then reports it to the server through the RAN, where the UE can also be called a terminal. The QoE measurement report is generated by the application layer of the terminal. After the report is generated, the QoE measurement report is transmitted to the access stratum (AS) of the UE, and the AS of the UE transmits the QoE measurement report to the RAN side through a radio resource control (RRC) message.
In the related art, when the RAN side needs to release the QoE configuration of the UE due to some reasons, the RAN notifies the UE of the QoE ID that needs to be released, and the terminal releases all QoE configuration corresponding to the QoE ID. Therefore, the current QoE configuration release method is too single.

Detailed Description

The term "and/or" in embodiments of the present application describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships, such as, A and/or B, which may mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character "P' generally indicates that the contextual objects are an "or" relationship.
The term "plurality" in embodiments of the present application refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all of them. Based on embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.
As shown in FIG. 1, an optional application scenario of embodiments of the present application, the radio communication system includes an OAM entity 10, a Core Network (CN) device 11, a RAN node 12, and a terminal 13.
In this application scenario, embodiments of the present application provide two kinds of QoE measurement. One of which is signaling based (Signalling based), the process is that the OAM entity 10 transmits the QoE configuration to the core network, and the core network device 11 transmits the QoE configuration to the RAN node 12. The RAN node 12 forwards the QoE configuration to the terminal 13; and the QoE configuration in this case is for a specific UE. The other of which is a management based (Management based), and the process is that the OAM entity 10 directly transmits the QoE configuration to the RAN node 12, the RAN node 12 then forwards the QoE configuration to the terminal 13, and in this case, the QoE configuration is configured for multiple UEs.
After the RAN node 12 determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration, it generates QoE configuration release information that includes a release type parameter, and the release type parameter is configured to indicate the type of QoE configuration that needs to be released by the terminal; and the RAN node 12 transmits the QoE configuration release information to the terminal 13.
The terminal 13 receives the QoE configuration release information including the release type parameter transmitted by the RAN node 12; and determines the target QoE configuration to be released according to the release type parameter in the QoE configuration release information, and releases the target QoE configuration.
It should be noted that when the RAN node determines whether the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration, the RAN node determines whether the current terminal moves out of the effective range of the QoE configuration, and after the terminal moves out of the effective range of the QoE configuration, the RAN node determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration. Or, the RAN node determines whether there is a network failure, if the RAN node determines that the QoE configuration needs to be released due to the type of network failure, the RAN node determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration. Or, after the RAN node determines that the QoE configuration needs to be released due to manual network management, the RAN node determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration.
The RAN node of the radio communication system in embodiments of the present application transmits a RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal after determining that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration; where, the RRC reconfiguration message includes QoE configuration release information, and the QoE configuration release information includes the release type parameter.

The service type parameter includes but not limited to: string, streaming media, Multimedia Telephony Service for IMS (MTSI).
After receiving the RRC reconfiguration message transmitted by the network side device, the terminal parses the QoE configuration release information from the RRC reconfiguration message, and obtains the release type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information, and determines the target QoE configuration corresponding to the release type parameter according to the release type parameter, and release the target QoE configuration.

Where, the release type parameter(s) in embodiments of the present application include the configuration type parameter and/or the service type parameters.
The QoE configuration type may be a configuration type that is invisible to the network side device, or may be a configuration type that is visible to the network side device.
It should be noted that the network side device in embodiments of the present application may be a RAN node.
The following is an introduction to two different types of QoE configuration.

1. QoE invisible to network side devices

In the two system frameworks of signaling-based measurement configuration and management-based measurement configuration, the processes that the RAN node transmits the QoE configuration to the UE are the same and the configuration parameters are also the same. The QoE configuration file is encapsulated in a file for the RAN node, and the RAN node does not unseal the file and directly and transparently transmits it to the UE through RRC signaling. This type of QoE configuration is not visible to the RAN node.
QoE measurement management parameters are defined in the R16 protocol version, including but not limited to the following parameters.

A. QoE collection entity address

This parameter is configured to define the IP address to which the QMC record is transmitted, and the IPv4 or IPv6 address can be used specifically.

B. QoE reference

This parameter is configured to define the network request session. The QoE reference is globally unique and consists of MCC+MNC+QMC ID.
Among them, MCC and MNC come from the management system together with the trace activation request, and are used to define a PLMN contained in the management system, and the QMC ID is a 3-byte string.

C. QoE identifier information

The QoE identifier information can also be called measurement ID (measurement identifier). This parameter is used to identify the QoE configuration and measurement report on the UE side, and is used for the interaction between the RAN node and the UE on the air interface. The RAN node is responsible for mapping the ID with the above-mentioned QoE reference one by one.

D. QMC configuration file

This parameter is the QoE configuration file defined by the application layer service.

E. Service Type (service type parameter)

This parameter is used to define the service type that requires QoE measurement; where the service type parameter includes string, streaming media, MTSI and other types.

F. Area Scope

This parameter is used to define the effective area of QoE configuration, which can include cell list, TA list, etc.
After the AS of the UE receives the QoE configuration through the RRC message, the AS transmits the QoE configuration to the application layer through the directory defined by the AT command, wherein the QoE configuration includes the parameters: Service Type, QoE reference and QMC configuration file. When the service with the service type corresponding to the configuration starts to occur, the application layer starts to measure according to the configuration file, and generates a QoE measurement report according to the configuration conditions. Once the QoE measurement report is generated, the application layer of the UE transmits the QoE report to the AS of the UE through the AT command, the AS of the UE immediately transmits the QoE to the RAN node through the RRC message; and the RAN node transmits the report to the server corresponding to the IP address defined by the configuration file, thereby completing the QoE configuration and measurement report collection process.

2. QoE visible to network side devices

The QoE visible to the network side device can be called RAN-visible QoE. This type of QoE configuration is generated by the RAN node and configured to the UE. After the RAN node receives the QoE report from the UE, the RAN node can directly understand the QoE report, rather than reporting it after encapsulation.
Among them, RAN-visible QoE measures management parameters, including but not limited to the following parameters.

A. RAN visible QoE metrics

The reported QoE parameters, such as Buffer level, Playout delay (play delay), etc., collected by the UE.

B. QoE identifier information

The QoE identifier information can also be called measurement ID. This parameter is used to identify the QoE configuration and the measurement report on the UE side, and is used for the interaction between the RAN node and the UE on the air interface. This identifier shares the same identifier with the QoE of the first configuration type.

D. Service Type (Service Type parameter)

This parameter is used to define the service type that requires QoE measurement. The service type parameters include string, streaming media, MTSI and other types.
In embodiments of the present application, when the network side device determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration, the network side device transmits the QoE configuration release information to the terminal. The terminal performs configuration release after receiving the QoE configuration release information, and processes the collected measurement report data according to the actual situation.
Where, the reason why the network side device determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration and generates the release message includes but is not limited to normal release, and the terminal moves out of the effective range of the QoE configuration.
Normal release includes, but is not limited to: release by human management, release due to network failure.
After receiving the QoE configuration release information transmitted by the network side device, the terminal determines the target QoE configuration that needs to be released corresponding to the release type parameter according to the release type parameter in the QoE configuration release information, and releases the target QoE configuration.
The detailed process of releasing the target QoE configuration in embodiments of the present application is introduced in detail below.
First, the target QoE configuration to be released is determined according to the release type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information.

1. The release type parameter includes the configuration type parameter.

The QoE identifier information is also included in the QoE configuration release information transmitted by the network side device to the terminal.
The terminal determines a candidate QoE configuration corresponding to the QoE identifier information according to the QoE identifier information, and selects a QoE configuration corresponding to the configuration type parameter from the candidate QoE configuration as the target QoE configuration.
During implementation, the QoE configuration release information transmitted by the network side device to the terminal in embodiments of the present application includes the QoE identifier information and the configuration type parameter.
When determining the target QoE configuration, determine all QoE configuration corresponding to the QoE identifier information as the candidate QoE configuration; then select the QoE configuration corresponding to the configuration type parameter from the candidate QoE configuration as the target QoE configuration.
As an optional implementation manner, if the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is the first configuration type parameter, then all QoE configuration in the candidate QoE configuration is used as the target QoE configuration.
For example, the configuration type of QoE includes the QoE configuration (Traditional QoE) that is invisible to network side device and the QoE configuration (RAN-visible QoE) that is visible to network side device, then the first configuration type parameter can be the Traditional QoE, or the first configuration type parameter can be the Traditional QoE and the RAN-visible QoE.
If the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is a second configuration type parameter, a QoE configuration visible to the network side device is selected from the candidate QoE configuration as the target QoE configuration.
For example, the configuration type of QoE includes the QoE configuration (Traditional QoE) that is invisible to network side device and the QoE configuration (RAN-visible QoE) that is visible to network side device, then the second configuration type parameter can be the RAN-visible QoE.

2. The release type parameter includes the service type parameter.

In embodiments of the present application, when the QoE configuration release information transmitted by the network side device to the terminal includes the service type parameter, the QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter is used as the target QoE configuration.
If the release type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information transmitted by the network side device to the terminal is the service type parameter, the terminal determines all QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter as the target QoE configuration. For example, assuming that the service type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information are the string, the terminal uses the QoE configuration of the string type as the target QoE configuration.

3. Release type parameters include the configuration type parameter and the service type parameter.

In embodiments of the present application, when the QoE configuration release information transmitted by the network side device to the terminal includes the configuration type parameter and the service type parameter, the QoE configuration corresponding to the configuration type parameter is selected from the QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter as the target QoE configuration.
Since the QoE configuration can be divided into the QoE configuration of different configuration types based on the configuration type parameters, the QoE configuration can also be divided into the QoE configuration of different service types based on the service type parameter.
When the QoE configuration release information transmitted by the network side device to the terminal includes both the configuration type parameter and the service type parameter, and when the terminal determines the target QoE configuration, the terminal determines a part of the QoE configuration based on the service type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information, and the terminal determines a part of QoE configuration based on the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information, and determines the same QoE configuration in the two parts as the target QoE configuration.
During implementation, in embodiments of the present application, the QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter may be determined based on the service type parameter, and then the QoE configuration corresponding to the configuration type parameter is selected from the QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter as the target QoE configuration.
As an optional implementation manner, if the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is the first configuration type parameter, then all QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter is used as the target QoE configuration.
For example, the QoE configuration type includes the Traditional QoE and the RAN-visible QoE, the first configuration type parameter carried in the QoE configuration release information can be expressed as the Traditional QoE. When the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information received by the terminal is Traditional QoE, the terminal releases all QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter, that is, the terminal releases the Traditional QoE configuration and the RAN-visible QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter. Or the first configuration type parameter carried in the QoE configuration release information can be expressed as the Traditional QoE and the RAN-visible QoE. When the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information received by the terminal are the Traditional QoE and the RAN-visible QoE, the terminal release all QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter, that is, the terminal releases the Traditional QoE configuration and the RAN-visible QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter.
If the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is the second configuration type parameter, then the QoE configuration visible to the network side device is selected from the QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter as the target QoE configuration.
For example, the QoE configuration type includes the Traditional QoE and the RAN-visible QoE, the second configuration type parameter carried in the QoE configuration release information can be expressed as the RAN-visible QoE. When the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information received by the terminal is the RAN-visible QoE, the terminal releases the RAN-visible QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter.
In addition, in an optional implementation manner, the QoE configuration release information in embodiments of the present application also includes a release reason parameter used to indicate the reason for releasing the QoE configuration.
Where, the release reason parameter includes but not limited to normal release, and the terminal moves out of the effective range of the QoE configuration.
In embodiments of the present application, after the target QoE configuration to be released is determined according to the release type parameter in the QoE configuration release information, the release timing of the release target QoE configuration is determined according to the release reason parameter. After the release timing is reached, the target QoE configuration is released.
During implementation, if the release reason parameter indicates that the reason for releasing the QoE configuration is normal release, the current moment is used as the release timing for releasing the target QoE configuration.
When the release reason parameter is normal release, in embodiments of the present application, the target QoE configuration is released immediately after the target QoE configuration that needs to be released is determined, and the measurement report related to the target QoE configuration is deleted.
If the release reason parameter indicates that the reason for releasing the QoE configuration is that the terminal moves out of the effective range of the QoE configuration, then the release timing for releasing the target QoE configuration is determined according to the current QoE measurement state of the terminal.
Optionally, if the current QoE measurement state of the terminal is that no QoE measurement is performed, then the current moment is used as the release timing for releasing the target QoE configuration. If the current QoE measurement state of the terminal is that QoE measurement is being performed, a moment at which the QoE measurement ends is determined as the release timing for releasing the target QoE configuration.
It should be noted that after the target QoE configuration is determined, if the current terminal is performing QoE measurement, the terminal needs to complete this QoE measurement. After this QoE measurement is completed, a QoE measurement report is generated according to the QoE measurement result and the target QoE configuration is released.
In embodiments of the present application, after the network side device transmits the QoE configuration release information to the terminal, the QoE measurement report obtained by the terminal performing QoE measurement can be processed in the following manner. If a target network side device accessed by the terminal after the terminal moves out of the effective range of the QoE configuration supports reporting of measurement reports, the QoE measurement report is reported to the target network side device.
It should be noted that since the target network side device which the terminal switches to access supports reporting of measurement reports, it means that the target network side device can receive the measurement report reported by the terminal, and the terminal can report the QoE measurement report obtained by performing QoE measurement to the target network side device.
If the target network side device accessed by the terminal after the terminal moves out of the effective range of the QoE configuration does not support reporting of measurement report, the QoE measurement report is stored. As an optional method, the terminal reports the QoE measurement report to a network side device that supports reporting of measurement reports after the terminal accesses the network side device that supports reporting of measurement reports.
In this way, the terminal stores the QoE measurement report until the terminal switches again and accesses the network side device that supports reporting of measurement report, and the terminal reports the QoE measurement report to the network side device that supports reporting of measurement report.
If the target network side device accessed by the terminal does not support the reporting of measurement report after the terminal moves out of the effective range of the QoE configuration, the QoE measurement report is stored. Another optional implementation method is that if the terminal accesses a network side node, supporting reporting of measurement reports, within a preset period of time, the QoE measurement report is reported to the network side device that supports reporting of measurement reports, otherwise, the QoE measurement report is deleted.
In implementation, after the terminal determines that the target network side device accessed by the terminal after moving out of the effective range of the QoE configuration does not support the reporting of measurement report, the QoE measurement report is stored, and the timer can be started at the same time and the preset duration can be set. If the terminal accesses a network side device that supports reporting of measurement reports before the timing of the timer ends, the QoE measurement report is reported to the network side device that supports reporting of measurement reports. If the terminal is not accessed to the network side device that supports reporting of measurement reports at the end of the timing of the timer, the stored QoE measurement report is deleted.
It should be noted that if the QoE configuration release information transmitted by the network side device to the terminal includes no release reason parameter, the terminal may release the target QoE configuration immediately after receiving the QoE configuration release information and determining the target QoE configuration that needs to be released.
Optionally, the encoding structure corresponding to the method for releasing QoE configuration implemented in the present application may be the following.

Example 1:

     QoE configuration release list IE
     >QoE ID
        >>Traditional QoE configuration (optionally)
           >>>Release cause value: (normal, out of area scope...)
        >>RAN-visible QoE (optionally)
           >>>Release cause value: (normal, out of area scope...)
     > Service type.

Example 2:

QoE configuration release list IE
     >QoE ID
        » QoE configuration type (value is: Traditional, RAN-visible, both, ..... )
           >>>Release cause value :( normal, out of area scope...)
     > Service type.

The method for releasing the QoE configuration of the present application is introduced below in combination with several embodiments.
